Get rid of those old lists and spreadsheets that are full of errors. Use IT asset tracking to its full advantage so you know where your assets are and the status of every IT asset you own. Sounds good? You haven’t read about the benefits of automating the software that tracks your computers, printers, modems, and anything else IT-related.
Tracking An Asset’s Location Is Possible
Tracking assets that are always in the same location is still a good idea. You can see who’s using the asset, the asset’s maintenance status, and so much more.
You’ll Have Control Over Who Uses What
Did you know that you can assign a laptop to someone for a specific amount of time? As soon as that time is up they will have to return that asset to you.
You Can See Who Has Checked Out Which Assets
When the check-in/check-out feature is used, you can see exactly which team member has which laptop or tablet. Not only does this mean that you know they have the right tools for the job, it means you can hold them accountable should an asset go missing.
Data Can Be Created And Reports Can Be Exported
Reports can be very useful. They can help you to see who has what, how many of your assets are regularly used, and so much more. Without such reports, you may not have such a good insight into your business.
Your IT Assets Will Be In Much Better Condition All Of The Time
For example, computer B in office 3 may be up for its yearly maintenance tomorrow. The maintenance team would have received a notification about this. They can then take a close look at the computer and carry out repairs if necessary. As a result, computer B in office 3 may be in good condition once more.
If all of your IT assets are regularly checked out thanks to a maintenance schedule they are less likely to break down. With the ability to set up reminders at intervals of your choice, you can make sure that every single IT asset is ready to be used when you need it. An additional benefit of this is that the cost of replacing damaged IT assets can be significantly lower than ever before.
All Of Your IT Assets Will Be More Secure
As we have already seen, IT assets can be checked in and checked out. When you automate this feature, your assets will be more secure. Let’s imagine that a tablet has been left behind at head office, for example. Without tracking the tablet’s location, you may not be able to find it. However, when you can track the exact location of the tablet (and all of your IT assets), they’re more likely to be found.
Additionally, when your team members know that everything is tracked, they are more likely to return them to you safely.
